Now's the time for great prices on envelopes!
 

At my dad's Target they have all their Christmas stuff for 90-95% off. He was able to get me boxes of Christmas cards with larger envelopes (will fit a 5x7) for 50 to 69 cents a box, with 12-18 cards/envelopes in the box. I got about 140 envelopes for a little more than 10 dollars, and they are NICE!

Some of them had ribbons tied in a knot at the top, easily removable, so I kept those, and the envelopes. I threw some of the cards away because they said 2009 all over them, others I kept to give to the kids to make stuff out of.

I can't ever find the big envelopes for cheap, so this is a GREAT time to buy up those boxes of cards and get those bigger, pricier envelopes!

Good for you! What a bargain you got. I did this last (2008) Christmas but just got regular invitation size. I still have some left to use up.
